Daily fantasy basketball: Best buys for Sunday

What should you do with LaMarcus Aldridge in daily fantasy games on Sunday? Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

Each day, we'll provide you with the players to target in your daily leagues, from high-priced stars to solid mid-priced values to cheaper, riskier players with upside.

In general, you want to use safer options in your cash games and rely on some riskier, high-upside options in your bigger tournaments. If you can average six points per $1,000 of salary, you'll typically end up with at least some cash in your pocket.

At this early point in the season, we are still feeling our way with rotations. Teams are figuring out their strengths and weaknesses and trying to optimize their talent in the best ways possible. For that reason, I’m prioritizing past performance, minutes, usage and Vegas totals, while playing it a little more safely as the season starts.
